The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most. Roman Coppola callculturedress share on social

In my films that I've directed, and my work in commercials and videos, I've rarely used handheld. It's just not something I'm drawn to, but I've seen it done very well. Roman Coppola commercialdirectdraw Change image and share on social
There are a lot of very flamboyant and outlandish people and attention-seekers in L.A., and I think that's what makes L.A. appealing.

The short film project I just finished for W Hotels and Intel, I didn't have my script finished until a few days before we began filming. We edited it very quickly and now it's up online. It was great to conceive an idea and have it premiere just a few weeks later, compared to a feature, which takes a year or more. Roman Coppola begincompareconceive share on social
